trouble this region with the sell-off seeing immediate focus on $47.39-49.10
this week. Overall bears need a close below $47.39 to confirm initial focus on
$45.52-46.14 with below $45.52 to target $42.80 June lows. Layers of resistance
are weighing with bulls now needing a close above $49.79 to gain breathing room
and above the 200-DMA to pressure $51.22-77 once more.
